A cooler for maintaining food, beverage containers and/or consumable liquids in a thermally managed state. The cooler generally includes a housing having one or more cavities, a cover to selectively close or open the cavities and a plurality of tie down notches within the exterior portion of the housing to receive an elongated fastener for tying down the cooler. The cooler may include a first cavity that receives a food container and a second cavity that receives beverage containers. The first cavity may also store a liquid, such as water, that is dispensed from a spigot connected to the housing. A first cover and a second cover selectively close and open the cavities. The first cover includes a first access opening that removably receives the food container so the first cover doesn't have to be opened to retrieve the food container and its contents.

Caps for sealing assemblies for sealing glass containers and maintaining container closure integrity at ?80? C. or less are disclosed. The caps include a cap skirt having an annular body and a crimp region. The crimp region is a crimpable metal. The annular body of the cap skirt has a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) greater than a CTE of a metal consisting of aluminum, a stiffness greater than or equal to 2 times a stiffness of the crimp region, or both. The greater CTE, stiffness, or both of the cap skirt increase the seal pressure and contact area between the stopper and glass container when cooled to ?80? C. or less. The caps enable the sealing assemblies to maintain a helium leakage rate of the sealed glass container of less than or equal to 1.4?10.sup.?6 cm.sup.3/s at ?80? C. or less.

An openable and closeable lid assembly is provided for a beverage container. The lid assembly comprises a lid housing, an actuator and a seal. The lid housing has an upper surface with a drink aperture and an actuator aperture extending therethrough. The actuator extends through the actuator aperture and is positionable in an open position, where liquid can pass through the drink aperture, and a closed position, where the drink aperture is closed. A seal is provided adjacent the actuator aperture. The seal seals against the actuator and the lid housing to prevent liquid from escaping out the actuator aperture.

A cooler assembly for the storage of one or more objects includes a cooler portion having a main portion and a cover portion that is removably or pivotable relative to the main portion. First and second main portion securement features are disposed on a side wall of the main portion, and the first and second main portion securement features may be identical. First and second attachment assemblies, which may include a container, have identical first and second attachment securement features, respectively, which may releaseably engage either of the first and second main portion securement features to allow the first and second attachment assemblies to be transported with and stored on the cooler portion.

A sealing cap includes an outer cap, an inner cap and an air-tight gasket. The outer cap is to be disposed on a container. The inner cap is movably connected beneath the outer cap. The air-tight gasket is sleeved around the inner and outer caps. Two connectors extend through the outer cap and are connected to the inner cap. An operator is disposed above the outer cap and is pivotally connected to the connectors. The operator is operable to move the inner cap relative to the outer cap between a pressurizing position, where the inner cap pressurizes the air-tight gasket against the container, and an unpressurizing position, where the inner cap unpressurizes the air-tight gasket against the container.

In one embodiment there is provided a closed non-refillable dispenser having a bottle configured to hold a liquid with a neck surrounding an opening for access to the liquid, and having a pump assembly fitted to the neck to manually pump liquid out of the bottle. The dispenser further having a closure cap fitted over the neck of the bottle and having a central closure opening to receive the pump assembly and a collar seated entirely over the closure cap. The collar and closure cap have corresponding engaging means configured to tighten the closure cap onto the neck when the collar is rotated clockwise and the collar being further configured to not engage the closure cap when the collar is rotated counter-clockwise, such that the closure cap is non-removably affixed to the bottle, thereby preventing the bottle from being refillable.

A product containment system is provided and includes an open bin having a closed end, at least one side wall, and an open end bordered by a substantially horizontal sealing surface and an internal volume defined by the enclosure below the sealing surface, a bin lid configured geometrically to fit over the bin, a gasket disposed between the bin lid and the sealing surface of the bin, at least one pressure valve incorporated into the bin lid or into the at least one bin side wall and optionally one or more telemetric devices incorporated or otherwise disposed within the bin volume and or on the external surfaces of the bin, the telemetric devices adapted to record and retain data for access by a remote computing appliance.

The invention relates to a can which, after it is filled, is closed by fitting a cover, and also to an apparatus which is intended to be inserted into an initially open can, and to a method for providing a can. The can according to the invention is characterized in that an apparatus is located in the can, the said apparatus being arranged and designed in such a way that it is moved from a first state to a second state when a cover is fitted onto the initially open can.
